  Passes and FumbIes king|e as |. s.. U. Beats Rice, 10 ~ BATON ROUGE. La. Oct. IA Taking to the air in a wild first half of flying footballs the Louisiana State University Tigers tonight defeated the Rice Owls. 7 to 0. before 10000 chilly fans in a game full of costly fumbles. Ernie Lain’s goal-line tumble in the first quarter cost Rice a touch down after the Owls had passed their way to the line, and it paved the way for Louisiana’s thrilling 30 yard touchdown march through the air for the only counter, delivered by the usual route, Leo Bird to tow ering Ken Kavanaugh across the goal line. After the wild first half both squads settled down to power plays in the second with frequent touch down threats ending with fumbles.
